Just started on The Fifth Elephant.
It's part of Terry Prachett's Discworld series (book #25 i believe). They arent hard reads but are for the most part pretty good and damn funny. I often find myself laughing (and often groaning) out loud. If you want to check it out pick up the first two books, The Colour of Magic, and The Light Fantastic.

Actually, I'm not reading anything right now. I just finished the sixth book of the "Dune" series, by Frank Herbert (Chapterhouse: Dune). And now I am at a loss as to what I should read next.

A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo.
I am being forced to read this for a history class but it's actually not that bad, and that's rare of me to say about a book I'm required to read. It's about the author's experience as a soldier in Vietnam and it's not that bad. |

I was so frustrated after I watched the movie "Troy," that I went out a bought a copy of "The Iliad." So I'm reading that right now.

Re-reading the Enders Game series. Been a few years since I've read them, and I forgot how great they actually are.

Deception Point by Dan Brown
About 10% through and so far it's been pretty boring. Note to self: Why the hell am I still reading Dan Brown?

Rereading War Music-an 'interpretation' of the illiad by Christopher Logue. Highly, highly recommended for any fans of poetry or Homer.

Gah, what am I not reading right now. I have a habit of starting something, forgetting about it, and starting something new.
Eragon The Stand by Stephen King 1984 by Geroge Orwell I also have a bunch of books coming via ebay soon, and I promised Traff I would read his Dark Elf Trilogy.

Was reading The Icuras Agenda by Robert Ludlum, but it got packed into a box and haven't found it yet, so decided to pull out Louis De Bernieres' " The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts". Figured something with that title on my bookshelf should make for interesting reading... here's to finding out.
